Dictionary of Numbers

Dictionary of Numbers is an award-winning Chrome extension
that tries to make sense of numbers you encounter on
the web by giving you a description of that number in
human terms.
Like a dictionary describes words you don't know in terms you
do, Dictionary of Numbers puts quantities you're unfamiliar with
in terms you can understand.
Because "8 million people" means nothing,
but "population of New York City" means everything.

Inline explanations

Dictionary of Numbers searches through the page for
numbers it can understand, and when it finds one, adds an
inline explanation for that number in human terms. Try hovering
over some explanations to see more!
